Sam Elliott was a winner at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards on Sunday night (Feb. 26), bringing home the trophy for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series for his role as Shea Brennan in Yellowstone prequel 1883.
It was the first SAG win of Elliott’s career (though he’s been nominated at the awards show twice before), and from the podium, he described his award as “the most meaningful acknowledgement of my 55-year career.” Elliott’s competitors in the Male Actor category were Steve Carell, Paul Walter House, Taron Egerton and Evan Peters, the latter of whom was the favorite to win for his titular role in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
